A lot has been happening around here. Unexpected (painful and expensive!) dental work, job interviews, warmer weather and several sewing projects have kept me away from this space for long enough that I don't recognise Blogger. It took me a few seconds to figure out how to publish a new post.

Anyway, after a frustrating morning of drafting a new sloper (more on that later) a few days ago, I was looking for an easy project. The fabric is from a thrift store that I've had in my stash for several years now. The colour is not especially an harbinger of spring but the fabric is soft and very thin; perfect for warmer days.

I've made different versions of this top a coupletimes before. The original pattern is from this Japanese book but I've changed the pattern considerably. This time I made a short-sleeved version with cuffs and didn't sew down the inverted pleat. It made for a quick and easy project!

Good Morning Curry Made! Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading your blog. You are an amazing seamstress and knitter...I really admire your attention to detail and also being able to draft your own patterns! Peace!

Just found your blog and really enjoyed your mix of cooking, sewing, and travel. Very tasteful classic style. Maybe you took a life break but I'd love to see you do more;). Thanks for sharing your life.Sheree

About Me

I had several nicknames growing up; Curry was one of them. My move back to India with my husband inspired Curry Made - a space to share my latest handmade creations, photos, travel adventures, and a little bit of this 'n that. As of October 2010, we find ourselves in Paris, from where I will continue to write. I enjoy reading your comments, so don't feel shy to say hello. Namaste.
